Arcane Power is a supplement for the 4th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Arcane Power contains additional options and rules for wizards, warlocks, sorcerers, bards, and swordmages.
Shannon Appelcline commented that the initial product line for Fourth Edition Dungeons & Dragons was "a set of 'power' books that offered new options for players, organized by the power sources of 4E. Martial Power (2008), Arcane Power (2009), Divine Power (2009), and Martial Power 2 (2010) all focusing on 'standard' power sources; Primal Power (2009) and Psionic Power (2010) focused on more esoteric power sources, each of which was introduced in the Player's Handbook published earlier the same year."

Arcane Power was published by Wizards of the Coast in 2009. It was written by Logan Bonner, Eytan Bernstein, and Peter Lee. The week of April 30, 2009, it reached No. 13 on the Association of Book Publishers of British Columbia's United States Non-fiction Bestsellers List. [2]
Viktor Coble listed the entire Power series - including Martial Power , Martial Power 2 , Divine Power , Arcane Power, Psionic Power , and Primal Power - as #2 on CBR 's 2021 "D&D: 10 Best Supplemental Handbooks" list, stating that "What sets the power series apart – besides their updated rules – is how they translate really well to 5e. Whereas, the "Complete" series needs a little more work. The rules have both been pared down and expanded upon in this guide, which makes picking up a copy for whatever type of character is most in favor worth it." [3]
